Curious from people who follow its development closely. What protocol are about to be finally implemented? Which ones are still a struggle? How many serious protocols are there missing? https://arewewaylandyet.com/
minus-squareboredsquirrel@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoIts how Linux works lol. I mean there are tons of things per compositor. The protocols are way cleaner and less, so it is easier for Distros to just write their own. But for sure it is annoying that everyone wants to do their own. But that is not a Wayland problem, just nobody wanted to mess with XOrg.
